Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the security deposit for van rentals?

Generally, for renting a van, suppliers pre-authorise a security deposit of  EUR 1,000 to EUR 3,000. The deposit primarily depends on your chosen vehicle model and insurance coverage. This deposit amount held for security purposes is fully refundable upon vehicle return (in its original condition). 

Can I rent a van with an international driver’s license?

All major car hire companies in Portugal recognise foreign driving licenses issued by a European Union State. If your driver’s license is issued by a non-EU country or printed in a non-Latin alphabet (Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.), you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Even if you have an IDP, you must also carry your original driver’s license, as you will be required to present both. 

What type of luxury van rentals can I hire in Portugal?

A wide range of luxury vans is available for rent in Portugal, catering to diverse budgets. 7-8 seater minivans are ideal for travelling in small groups. Popular prestige models for vans/minivans include Mercedes V-Class, Mercedes Vito, and Mercedes-Benz, available with both manual and automatic transmissions. You can view the full list of available models when searching for deals online.

Where can I hire a self drive van in Portugal?

Rental companies in Portugal operate branches at all major destinations, including airports, train stations, ports, hotels, and downtown, making it easy for you to pick up a van. Be it the mainland, the Azores, or Madeira, van rentals can be booked for popular city locations, including Lisbon, Faro, Porto, Funchal, Ponta Delgada, and Coimbra, among others. See the full list of pick-up locations where you can easily rent a van in the booking form on our website. 

How much does it cost to rent a self drive van/minivan in Portugal? 

The prices for van and minivan rentals in Portugal typically range from €20 to €180+ per day, depending on vehicle size and season. Standard 7-seater car rentals usually start around €20–€45/day in low season, while larger or high-demand models can reach €50–€180+ per day in peak summer months. Booking for longer periods can reduce the daily rate, and factors like location, availability, insurance, and travel dates significantly influence pricing.

Is insurance included in van rental deals in Portugal?

Portugal’s road laws have made Third Party Liability (TPL) insurance mandatory for all vehicles. Rental companies include this coverage automatically in all car hire offers. Other coverage options like collision damage waiver, theft protection, roadside assistance, etc., are optional but, in most cases, are included in the final price. For extra peace of mind, additional insurance coverage can be added to the car hire deal at an extra charge.

Can I hire a van/minivan in Portugal for cross border rental?

Yes, you can rent multi seater passenger vans for cross border travel from Portugal to neighbouring European countries, including Spain, Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, among others. Such routes necessitate the renter to obtain pre-authorization when booking the vehicle or at the time of rental, and the same must be specified in the rental agreement as well. A cross border fee is applicable for such routes, which is generally between EUR 30- 90. 

Can I book a one-way van rental in Portugal?

Given that van rentals are available nationwide, you can easily travel inter city with ease. For such routes, a drop-off fee will apply and vary based on your selected car and the distance between the two locations. To find available deals at your preferred pickup and drop-off points, simply enter your travel details in the booking form.

Is a credit card required to rent a van in Portugal?

Yes, rental companies require a credit card in the main driver’s name to hold a refundable security deposit. So, you will need it to book and pick up the van. The deposit amount is held temporarily and released in full upon return of the vehicle in its original condition at pickup.

Can I rent a van for a month/long term?

Yes, users can reserve their ideal van/minivan rental for flexible long term durations. Many of our partner suppliers offer deals for multi-seater passenger vans, which can be booked for multiple months. Simply conduct a search by filling in your travel details in the booking form available on our website to browse results for monthly van/minivan rentals.
